February 19, 2011

I went down to the demonstration, to get today's share of abuse, and I've got lots of new photos and video from today's demonstration/counter-demonstration, including video of the Tea Party group, audio of Andrew Breitbart speaking, my encounter with the Dane County police who strictly narrowed the entrance to the Tea Party section, and a group of doctors who offering to write doctor's notes for people who'd missed work.

You think that is fraud, just look at the promissory notes in your wallet issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. In Corporate law they have become diluted stock by issuance of additional shares without any investment made in them.

Pictures of the doctors, please, if indeed you're not joking and saw them writing excuses.

Yesterday, they had to shut schools in Hudson and St. Croix districts because the teachers were down there "protesting". Milwaukee too, where they ought to be in school 365 days a year, just to catch up because they're failing so bad.

This is nonsense. Let WEAC die an honorable death. Walker stand strong and BUST these public unions.

Doctors who knowingly write excuses for people they know are not ill are guilty of fraud. Period. I don't care what they believe and whose side they are on...using their position of power in that way is wrong

I guess it will help teachers in districts where they will not be compensated for calling in "sick" to go protest, such as this district:

On the afternoon of Wednesday, February 16, I was advised that the Edgerton Education Association (EEA) had been asked to join a larger group of teachers throughout the State of Wisconsin in a rally in Madison on Thursday, February 17. This request placed our teachers in a position to make a very difficult choice. Upon learning of this request I informed our staff that all teachers are expected to report to work on Thursday, February 17, unless a leave of absence had already been approved. Furthermore, they were informed that any absence for either personal illness or family illness would require the employee to provide documentation from a medical provider supporting such absence. If documentation was not provided then staff would not be allowed to use paid sick leave and they would not be compensated for the day.

@ The doctors. This is a terrible, terrible idea. They do need to be reviewed by the appropriate board regarding their medical licenses. Even though I agree with them politically, this debases their profession.

Also think about the government bureaucrat who is supposed to check the validity of the medical excuse paper - you think they aren't in solidarity with their union brothers? Government is one huge fraud upon us.

Here's the issue. As a matter of principle, falsifying a note in the situation, is justifiable albeit medical fraud. But to stand out in public and brag about on camera it is pretty stupid. OK I can trust you with my real health issues.

I am imagining that being crammed into a wide-open public building compacted with people and all their germs, and all the germs of all the children of all those people, could end up making quite a few people sick. That would be ironic.

It will be very difficult to prosecute the doctors due to privacy laws, BUT I don't see how they kept detailed medical records for everyone they wrote a script for that day. That may be their undoing and a way to get at their licenses.

I'll bet a nickel they are all on the faculty of the local medical school (Which used to be Medical College of Wisconsin) and are sure the Dean wouldn't touch them. What they don't know is that they are committing fraud by abetting the teachers who called in sick. One simple way to deal with it is to require more documentation for any sick slip covering last week. Then the Medical Board, appointed by Walker, should be very interested in fraud committed by physicians for politics.

Doctors are far less conservative now as the older generation (like me) retire. Faculty members are usually left wing except surgeons.

"The doctors note thing just hit Fox News. Two women were on that got the bogus sick slips."

Fen alluded to this earlier, so I'll spell it out also: RICO

Folks, we have laws for a reason. It is illegal to join a conspiracy to commit fraud and that's precisely what these people are doing.

The only problem is that there are no Republican prosecutors with the fucking balls to uphold the law - and to charge these people with the crimes they are committing.

There can be no justice if nobody is willing to prosecute the laws.

What we have to do is to nut up the Republican Party - or better yet get some Tea Party prosecutors into office and start making some large-scale arrests and fraud prosecutions.

These doctors are openly participating with these union thugs in this fraudulent embezzlement of public funds with no fear of punishment because they believe the fix is in. And it's hard to argue with their point of view ... since it's being backed up with their brazenness in doing this out in the open.

They know Democrat cops (all unionized) aren't going to arrest them and they know that Republican prosecutors are too pussy-fied to empanel grand juries to indict these criminals.

If you are wondering why there is a need for a third party in the United States ... this is it folks.

I doubt that anything substantial will happen to the striking teachers or fradulent docs--that said, Governor Walker will win this fight--the unions have already offered a "compromise" but at the end of the day (or week) the scumbag asshole dem senators will have to come back of the state of wisconsin will shut down.

What we are seeing is the last stand of public sector unions (at least I hope it is)--Governor Walker has the votes to cram anything down the dems throats (although I do wish he would start from the other direction)

This is Gotterdammerung for the dems and public sector unions and they know it.

And I do predict the novelty of the demostrators will wear off when they realize they are fucking over their three day weekend.

The progressive speak-truth-to-power martyrs who skipped work to carry Hitler signs around the capitol and sing We Shall Overcome with Jesse Jackson are now getting fake doctor's notes to make sure they get paid.

School administrators do not have the balls to enforce their personnel regulations--the state medical board will fold like a cheap suit on disciplining doctors--bureaucrats and adminstrators are gutless bastards--not quite as bad a lawyers and journalists--but almost

Ronald Reagan fired the patco scum and made it stick--wisconsin administrators are most certainly not of ronald reagan's mold--gutless faceless bastards all

"I doubt that anything substantial will happen to the striking teachers or fraudulent docs ..."

But isn't that kind of the point?

These government officials are engaging in rampant payroll fraud and they're not even scared of being prosecuted for it.

It's blatant embezzlement.

And their co-conspirators amongst the Medicare fraud crowd don't seem too worried about the cops showing up to slap the cuffs on.

This is how far our society has sunken ... there is open lawlessness among the elite and the cops are standing idly by because of their "union ethic."

The fix is in and unless we bust up the entire government it will be in for our children to.

It's up to us what kind of a society we leave them. It is time for us to become our own Greatest Generation and to eliminate this current crew of corrupt elites so that our children are not enslaved by them any further.

If you really want to get to the doctors, then get their information and send a letter to the state board of medical examiners. There is no consequence to you for filing a complaint, but the doctor will be filling out paper work for the next 5 years. If the board actually finds a problem, then he can lose his license. Also, all letters have to be investigated.

Ann--what was the deal with the Tea Party speaker (a woman) invoking the Holocaust and Adolf Hitler? Couldn't really hear what she was saying about that and was wondering the relevance of exploiting such a horrendous historical event. Thanks.

Most folks have no idea how much public unions and their members fund and then in turn are funded by (especially in the form of pensions, healthcare, debited union dues, etc, i.e.. money easily hidden) democratic machine politics. The teachers should've just kept quiet, waited for the next time a democratic became governor and queitly started pillaging again. Robbing is best done silently.

Raising such a fuss might very well have created the conditions for a devastating Pyrrhic lose. One can only hope.

We financed a car for someone once, and the person missed payments all the time. One time, she gave us gas coupons instead of money. The gas coupons were little tickets that came out of gas station gambling machines.

"No, I don't have my car payment, but here are a bunch of tickets I won gambling this week."

And it's exceptionally quick and easy to pull up their medical lucese numbers and status in the very user-friendly, public, online state license database, too. Easy peasy for any reporter who's covering the story, or even plain old Wisconsin resident.

@Roger J. --Actually, yes, I'd love to know what the motivation for some of the few signs I saw with Walker as Hitler were about.

I asked a few people and got this response from two people: "One of the first things Hitler did was break the unions in 1933". (haven't looked that up yet but will make a note to read up on what the history books say)

@Tori --Sorry but what Ann said is true. There was indeed a section cordoned off by BRIGHT ORANGE storm fence (plenty of pictures and video to back this up, I'm afraid).

True, there was an open section of the lawn to the right of the steps but as police were turning away dozens of people who wanted to walk (over the chain fence) onto the lawn from that side, I wouldn't exactly say that it was "accessible by any and every angle" as you put it.

The docs' fake scripts denoting illness are one sign that the scofflaws in the union movement are a tribe of scum-sucking bottomfeeders who break the law without compunction and flash the Italian salute at anyone who objects.

In addition, the hegira of 14 WI state senators to the neighboring People's Republic of Illinois is not popular AT ALL with the native Wisconsinites. Of course, the polls by the Journal-Sentinel are not being published in the national media, the aptly-named lamestream media, which is also ignoring the inflammatory posters of the protesters with Gov. Walker's face on a target and wearing a Hitler mustache.

This is par for the course and as a native Wisconsinite, albeit now transplanted, I think the state's traditional sense of fair play is being violated. Also, the intrusion of the Indonesian Imbecile and Trumka and JJackson are not appreciated except by die-hard supporters. Remember this is concerning around 100,000 public servants earning 50% above teachers in parochial schools, which intriguingly have a MUCH HIGHER test score and graduation rate than the second-rate public schools.

All the signs point to a PR disaster for the Dems in WI and nationally for the Indonesian Imbecile.

As a "professor of Law", will you hold your colleges to any standard? Or do you agree with their fraud? Will you call for the firing of any teacher proven to have violated their contract by not going to work or using a fake note to say they were sick?

Do you think you would approve a student in your class who had a fake doctors' note so that they wouldn't have to follow your class rules? How about a lawyer who lies to a court so that they can win their case? And how about the wonderful civility this m,ob has shown. After the Arizona shootings President Obama lectured all the terrible right wingers and Tea Party members about how terrible it is to say such hateful things such as "targeting" your opponent. Where is the lecture from Mr Obama and the Main Stream Media about the hundreds of signs that are so hateful and nasty that they will not even show them on TV?I guess since these are good liberal and union signs then they must be understood in context. Just like all good union protest it is only the right that says anything bad.
